Fall 2021 Brown Bag Event: Discussion with Dr. Robert T. Choflet

Virtual Event - Register at: https://forms.gle/RCczHr3HZHqZuKZd8

Description: 

It is with great excitement that we announce our third installment of a series of Brown Bag events for the Fall 2021 semester in the Department of African American Studies at the University of Maryland!

Faculty member, Dr. Robert T. Choflet, will be leading the next Brown Bag event on Wednesday, November 17, 2021 from 12:30pm – 2pm EDT. 

Dr. Choflet’s work broadly focuses on the radical intellectual and political traditions that emerge from spaces of racialized poverty. This talk will work from oral history research he is doing with former high-rise public housing residents in Baltimore, centering the radical critique this research captures. His paper will argue that Black women, facing austerity conditions in public housing, cultivated traditions of resistance and a transformative political vision, put them into practice through mutual aid work, and countered campaigns to demolish and privatize their housing with demands to build more robust public institutions.
